Sleigh Ride

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

Come join our monthly challenge...and you could be the next winner of two High Hopes Stamps of your choice.  The details for the November Challenge can be found here.  The challenge runs through November 30th.

With the mild weather in Southern Ontario this past week, it is hard to believe Christmas is next month!  I sure hope you have started on your Christmas cards, but if not... I hope the other Diva's cards and this card, may inspire you to get working on them!

This is Sleigh Ride (SS004) and Sm. Christmas Script Sentiment (F051). Such a cute image!!!

I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I added some Glossy Accents to the Snowman's nose, holly berries, and Penguin's feet and beak.  Frosted Lace Stickles were applied to the Penguin's pompom and the snowflake dots on the sleigh.  Gold Stickles were added to the Snowman's hat buckle. A Zig-Wink of Stella clear glitter pen was used for the fur on the Penguin's hat.  

The image was fussy cut.  The snow hills were created by using a Paper Smooches die called Stitched.  The tree dies are from Frantic Stamper called Tall Pine Trees. A white ink pad was used to sponge the trees to give it a more of a snowy appearance.  The pattern paper is from Bo Bunny-Dear Santa 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some blue, green, and white cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped with a blue ink pad.  I wanted to keep this card fairly flat so it could be mailed out; therefore, I never used any foam tape--which is quite unusual for me - LOL!  To complete this card, a few blue rhinestones were added to the corners of the card.  

Supplies Used:

Ink - Tombow Markers - N15, N35, N75, 245, 985, 847, 856, 992, 977, 533, 535, and 761.  Versamark Ink Pad, Black Embossing Powder, White Ink Pad (sponging trees), and Blue Ink Pad (sentiment).

Paper - Bo Bunny-Dear Santa 6x6 Paper Pad; SU Blue, Green, and White Cardstock.

Misc - Glossy Accents, Frosted Lace Stickles, Gold Stickles, Zig-Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen, Blue Rhinestones, Paper Smooches-Stitched Die, Frantic Stamper-Tall Pine Trees die, Water Brush, and Glue Dots.

I love how "Mr Penguin" is holding the mistletoe over their heads...... sneaky little guy! I stamped my image on a MFT Traditional Stitched Tag and coloured it with my Copic Sketch markers. This paper is from last years Simple Stories "Cozy Christmas" 6x6 collection. I also cut some Poinsettia's out with my die cut machine and added them as my embellishments.

On the inside I used the sentiment "We Wish You a Merry Christmas".

Joy Ride!

Look out everyone there's a new Claus in Town! 
Here comes Bob and his wife motoring into Town all ready for Christmas! I can just picture the excitement they left in their wake! I mean who wouldn't stop to watch this cute fashionable couple cruise on by! This High Hopes image is called "Joyride".

 Today I am using papers from the Carta Bella "Have a Merry Christmas" 6x6 collection. I cut a MFT Stitched Oval out in 2 sizes and layered them onto my A2 card. My image is cut out and popped up with foam squats for some added dimension. A bow, enamel dots and a Christmas tree brad (hard to see on the bow) finishes this project off.

 On the inside I used the Stitched ovals again and stamped my sentiment "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" from High Hopes in red ink.

I coloured this image with Tombow Markers and Water.  After the image was all coloured and dry, I added some Crystal - Ice Stickles to the fur on Santa Bob's hat, pompom, coat, and cuffs.  Santa sure sparkles now!!!   But you can never have too much sparkle on holiday cards!  The designer paper is from Carta Bella - Christmas Time 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some SU Black Cardstock.  A piece of glitter tape was also added under the image.  Foam tape was used to attach the image to add some dimension to this card.  To complete this design, some silver pearls were added to the top left and bottom right corners of the image.

 

Supplies Used:

 

Ink - Tombow Markers - 847, 443, N55, 850, 969, N95, 491, N15, 296, 942, 856, and 743.  Image stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.

Snowman Stumble

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

TGIF!!!  Here's another one of my cards using the Joys of the Season New Release Stamps...

Jane 

 

This is Snowman Stumble (TT014) and Have An Ice Day Sentiment (HH007). Such an adorable Snowman!!! I think Snowmen images may become one of my favourite images to colour and decorate for this upcoming holiday season!  

I coloured Snowman Stumble with Tombow Markers and water, then used Twinkling H20 - Heavenly for the white parts of the snowman. After the image was all coloured and dry, I added some Glossy Accents to his nose and skate blades.  I needed more sparkle after that was complete, so out came the Stickles.  I used Crystal - Ice Stickles on the fur of the hat and pompom.  Wow, does this snowman ever glitter and shine!  The image was then cut down to size and layered with some green and black cardstock.  

 

For the sentiment, I was really wanting to try a technique that I have never done before.  I am not certain that this is a new technique, but it is new to me.  I started by stamping the sentiment on a scrap piece of paper with black ink.  I took the stamped sentiment and photocopied it on white cardstock using my office laser printer.  After I had copied the image of the sentiment, I cut it down to size and took a small piece of Heidi Swapp Silver Reactive Foil and laid it (shiny side up) on top of my copied sentiment.  I ran this through my "antique" office laminator.  LOL!  I am not fortunate enough to own one of those new Heidi Swapp foil laminators, so I thought I could use what I already have.  It's an old laminator, but it worked like a charm for this project!!!  After peeling off the foil from the sentiment, I decided it needed more sparkle too.  You can never have too much sparkle on holiday cards!  The Zig - Wink of Stella clear glitter pen was used on the sentiment's snow and in between the lines of the border.  It is rather difficult to see in the picture, but with the light silver foil and little bit of clear glitter, the results were amazing!  What a fun and easy technique!!!  

 

The pattern paper is from Echo Park - 'Tis the Season 6x6 Paper Pad.  Also, some black, green, red and white cardstock was used to create this card. A red felt snowflake was added, along with a crystal rhinestone in the centre.  Five red rhinestones were placed below the image.  Foam tape was also used under the image and sentiment to create some dimension on this card, along with a piece of red ric-rac ribbon.    

 

Supplies Used:

 

Ink - Tombow Markers - 847, 856, 076, 126, N35, N55, 491, and N60.  Versamark Ink Pad, Black Embossing Powder and Twinkling H2O-Heavenly for the white parts of the snowman.

 

Paper - SU Black. Green, Red and White Cardstock, Echo Park - 'Tis the Season 6x6 Paper Pad.

 

Misc - Glossy Accents, Crystal - Ice Stickles, Zig-Wink of Stella Glitter Clear Pen, Heidi Swapp-Silver Reactive Foil, Office Laser Printer, Office Laminator, SU - Little Felt Flurries, Red and Crystal Rhinestones, Red Ric-Rac Ribbon, Water Brush, Foam Tape, and Glue Dots.
